GoKawiilTrump executive order renames 'artificial intelligence' as 'Super Intelligence'
At a White House lunch with top AI executives, President Trump signed an executive order declaring the government will no longer use the term 'artificial intelligence,' replacing it with 'Super Intelligence.' The move followed a September 23 UN speech in which he criticized the term, and tech leaders at the event reportedly went along with the change.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The episode suggests the administration is asserting symbolic authority over an industry worth trillions of dollars, even on matters as seemingly trivial as terminology. The willingness of AI executives to accept the rebrand without pushback could be read as a sign of how much deference the industry is now extending to the White House. It may also signal how political dynamics, rather than technical or scientific consensus, are shaping public discourse around AI.
- Trump signed an executive order mandating the government use 'Super Intelligence' instead of 'artificial intelligence.'
- The decision followed earlier remarks criticizing the term 'artificial intelligence' at a UN speech in September.
- Tech executives present at the White House lunch appeared to accept the rebrand without resistance.
